Final week with PIDP 3240: Media Enhanced Learning.
My course is coming to an end and I wanted to share what I experienced and learned from PIDP 3240.

- Read chapters 1-11 in 4 weeks.
- Discussion forums, I can do that! Wait there's 4 different forums! The topics included Web 2.0 Tools, and Copyright issues. What are Web 2.0 Tools? Online copyright issues....I shared so many pictures and quotes on Facebook, will I be arrested for that even though I am not charging anyone to like it?!?!?!

I enjoyed my experience with PIDP 3240: Media Enhanced Learning. The the most valuable thing I learned from this course is have some media tools available to assist the students to understand, connect, and learn about their courses. One tool I like to try to use is Gaming. This is a new educational digital tool for me to apply in my teaching and I look forward to implementing it. Podcast is another interesting educational tool that many seem to implement in their teaching, and I plan to give it a try. Another great learning activity I gained from PIDP 3240 is Blogging. I am very thrilled that I reconnected with my Blogger account and blogged as much as I could. Thank you PIDP 3240 students and instructor for providing many great valuable tools, knowledge, and awareness.
